jack placement for susp. inspection?

Where's the best place to locate jackstands on 2nd gen if working under car? I need to inspect the suspension so I want to ensure I don't limit my inspection by setting susp parts on the jacks.

I also will be replacing tranny fluid so will have it on 4 jacks to remain level. Plus I'd like to pull all four wheels at once for ease of work.

Should I place them where the tire jack goes or somewhere else? Not sure what's structurally the most sound.

Thanks! Hell, if I was as small as that little dude, I wouldn't need the jacks!
